there are many ways to explore the island of Boracay. most usual way is to take a tricycle or a motorcycle that can bring you almost anywhere in the island. van and mini jeepneys can also be rented thru your resort’s coordination.

in my case, i decided to take a bike to see the other parts of the island. looking at the map of Boracay, i chose the path that I want to take for a an hour bike ride. i rented a bike in one of the sports shop in D’mall and named it Scud. it’s a red Montana mountain bike. do you still remember Blooz in San Pablo?

so i left the shop going to my first stop(2), which is this small body of water in the middle of the island, just along the Bulabog road.

second stop (3) is the beach of Bulabog. best place for the different water sports like banana boat ride, jetski and parasailing. there are fewer resorts here as this area is usually used for docking private motorboats.

from here, I have to drive back to the main road going western part of the island. drop by the Boracay church (4) to thank God of the blessings and continued my way along the main road.leaving the central area, i now enter the barangay of Yapak. cycling was quite challenging on that side (5) because it's an uphill. that’s why from here, you’ll notice that there are bug cars and ATVs for rent.

a bunch of tourists were enjoying these ATVs as they usually go their way up to MountLuho, Boracay’s highest peak. i stopped for a drink on one of the roadside stores. continued my way up passing by Fairways Golf course which is just a short distance from my turning point (6).

from there, i have to go down back to the main road Boracay central area. my last stop was a small alley that leads to a view of the beach (7). this is the alley next to Willy’s resort.

took some photos and went back to D’mall just in time. this is just another way to enjoy this island. it’s cheap and is a good way to promote healthy living plus saving the environment from pollution. thanks Scud. here's the route that i took.I won’t be able to check your blogs during the weekend as i’ll be traveling with best bud Lawstude and Orlan. enjoy your weekend!

i think Mt. Luho was the one featured in Discovery Travel n Living(Fun Asia by Janet Hsieh)..it feels great to see photos of how beautiful our country is..sarap ipagsigawan sa buong mundo..keep it up!another get-away??sarap naman nyan..work related ba?makapagpalit na nga ng career..(rofl)

my mind was in a state of serenity and peace when I see those nice pics. I heard that ATV is very slow ha! People like me who live in a city with so much pollution (air, noise, u named it!) really look forward to a rejuvenation in a countryside like that!

Baket motorcycle? Yung bisekleta ba eh environmental friendly pero baka di old legs' friendly... hehehee. I know what you mean me mga pataas dyan. Last time we saw just he market to buy some seafoods, at nag round the islands by banca... sarapppp.

That's a great way to see the parts of the island that one normally wouldn't be able to see. Love the second photo of the 'small body of water!'

And about my Eastwood pics: they were all taken on the same night in early October — I've just been spreading out the posting. We haven't been going there much anymore since Trinoma opened (for watching movies). And definitely no condo! :D

Cool. Very interesting and informative post on Boracay. Nice to be able to move around the island in the various mode of transport. Hey, I like the jeep and ATV. The ATV is exactly like the one I tried at Korea. It was fun although at times can dangerous when we are going down those slopes. I would like to try again if ever I get a chance.
